DJ JD said he thought this clue might be the easiest yet. If he came up with a clue that was simultaneously easy for the correct answer AND obviously pointed to a fake answer, I'd be pretty impressed. Not saying that's impossible, just that I think it's quite possible we were on the right track with Paul Simon and just got off a stop too soon. Maybe someone else named Simon, or something else like that.

I do like all the thinking about Tom and Jerry without the art being sound effects, or something like that, but I can't get it to lead anywhere good. NOFX doesn't seem right to me - without the art ALL you'd have is FX...sound effects. Well, that and classical music. And I looked through the wiki page for T&J to see if there was anything of interest and apparently there were a few occasions on which Tom and Jerry spoke - usually Tom. Apparently he said "Don't you believe it!" somewhat often? I don't remember that at all. Don't think it helps with the clue at all though.

I don't think so...I could be wrong but I'd be surprised if that was it. I mean, technically DJ JD isn't allowed to confirm or deny anything. He usually finds ways to let us know how we're going without specifically confirming things, so I don't know why Paul Simon would be any different. And if it somehow was different - if he absolutely was not allowed to give us any indication that Paul Simon was playing - then he wouldn't be giving a clue for him anyway. So unfortunately...I don't think Paul Simon can be the answer.

drbrainfreeze - they actually WERE known as Tom and Jerry before they switched to just using their names. Art was Tom Graph and Paul was Jerry Landis.

ALSO, I just checked wiki and they met in a school play - Alice in Wonderland. Simon was the White Rabbit, Garfunkel was the Cheshire Cat. So with no Art - White Rabbit. Could this be as simple as White Rabbits??
